The PCB fired Sarfraz Ahmed from the three-way leadership.

National team captain Sarfraz Ahmed will no longer join the national team for tour Australia, he has been instructed to play domestic cricket and restore the form. However, it has been decided to be the captain of Azhar Ali for the Test series against Australia and his deputy will likely be Mohammad Rizwan in the Test. On the other hand, the tour will be handed over to captain Mohammad Hafeez or Shoaib Malik in the Twenty20 international for Australia. Because PCB understands that,Babar Azam is reluctant to take charge right now.

The final decision in this regard, however, is expected by Saturday. Team management wants Babar Azam to be captain of T20 and one-day captains. However, Mohammad Hafeez’s name is also appearing in T20 captaincy. Amad Waseem along with Babar Azam are also strong candidates for T20 and One Day.

Pakistan Cricket Board will announce new captains in this regard very soon, while Pakistan will play 2 Tests and 3 Twenty20 matches in Australia.
